OPERATION
OPERATING THE MACHINE
• Avoid crossing over obstacles whenever
possible. If you must do so, keep the
hoe attachment close to the ground
level and travel slowly. Never cross
obstacles which will tilt the machine to
an angle of 10° or greater.
• Avoid starting, stopping or changing
directions abruptly and maintain a
proper speed. Otherwise, the working
equipment may come in contact with
the ground, causing the machine to lose
its balance and get damaged or to
damage the structures in the
surrounding area.
• When traveling on the uneven road or
sharp slope, turn off the deceleration
switch and the auto-deceleration
switch. If the machine is operated on
such roads with these switches turned
on, the engine speed may increase,
causing the machine to travel
unexpectedly rapidly (for machines with
the deceleration and auto-deceleration
switches).
• When traveling on a road, know and use
the signaling devices required on the
machine. Use an escort vehicle for road
travel when required.
• Clear all obstacles from the path of the
machine.
Preparing for travel
1. Set the steering device facing forward and
to the front of the operator’s seat.
2. Fully raise the boom, fully lower the
second boom, and then set the arm
vertically to rollback the bucket.
3. Fully raise the blade/outriggers (if
equipped).
For machines equipped with outriggers,
secure them with turnbuckles.
4. Lock slewing and swinging.
5. Tilt the reflector.
Road Travel Posture
• With 2-Piece Boom
• With Mono-Boom
Move the boom and arm to set them so
that the position pointers (1) are in the
green ranges.
